T206 Wagner, SGC A sells for $2.5mm!

[investinrookies]

Wondering if the run up in the wagner causes a trickle down effect on the other rare T206 cards like the Doyle and plank?

The "new shiny stuff" has not been the only area setting records. Key vintage cards have also been blowing the roof off old sales. The Wagner is but one example. Post war, but a 1961 Dice game Mantle sold for almost 400K (last sale 144K in May 2018 - same exact card), 1933 Goudey Ruth #144 PSA 8 - Almost 300K! Last sale - 67K July 2019.
A lot of "deep pockets" looking for the "cream". I for one see this continuing for a bit on low pop high demand cards.

Time to sleep with one eye open or "upgrade"!

This to me is far less crazy than $600k for a Michael Jordan card. This also presents very well for the grade IMO.

Ken Goldin just posted this on his IG after he re-slabbed it at PSA.
Going to be on his upcoming auction.

You married Yoko Ono? True enough, my wife will sell my cards before the second chorus of Ave Maria at my funeral...

Concur...yawn.

Did any mid-grade (PSA 5 +/-) T206 of Cobb/Matty/WalterJohnson/Young just sell at this auction? How did they do?

The card only goes up. If a Jordan 10 is 600k you could argue it’s cheap.

I think it just signifies how real the money that is flowing into cards is.

Like others congratulations on owning one.
